PERMENTER! is putting some of that fancy school learnin’ he’s been doing to good use and selling out. Finally.
His prints look great and now that I’ve already reserved mine, you should too. Seriously, go now before he realizes how criminally underpriced these are and raises his rates.
Also: PERMENTER!
The sole source of Angostura bitters was almost wiped out in the global financial meltdown -
A key ingredient in many of your favorite cocktails, including the old fashioned.
I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that until yesterday, I’d been pronouncing it “angoSUTRA”.
“MSNBC is now saying that the account was never in their control in the first place. It was previously sending out MSNBC headlines, but then today went off the deep end, obviously. So I guess this is a lesson in controlling your online brand.” —
MG Siegler, over at the paragon of journalistic integrity, TechCrunch, on a rogue msnbc twitter account that was never hacked and never under official control of either the cable or online network. It was just some idiot who plugged an RSS feed into a fake twitter account.
Yeah, dude, I guess it is a lesson in “controlling your online brand” or some other bullshit that douchebags say. I guess msnbc should hire someone to worry about any and every derivation of their name that shows up on every social network ever. Because that seems like a much better use of time than actually, you know, working.
Excuse me, I need to go register @TechCrunchHeadlines.
p.s. TechCrunch, update your useless CrunchBase entry on msnbc when you find a minute between sucking up to Google and Zuckerberg and not releasing a CrunchPad. It might involve some actual reporting, but I bet you’ve got it in you.

<del>John</del> Jon "@zuhl" Deal has an awesome writeup on how to use an SSD drive with your Mac -
Use the super fast solid state drive as your boot/OS/application drive, move your home folder for all your pictures and mp3s and whatnot somewhere else. Nicely done.
UPDATE: Egregious mispeling of JON Deel’s name corrected.

From Last Days of Gourmet a photo essay looking at the closure of Gourmet magazine

“He’s our Oprah” —
Brad Thor, a “writer” of political thrillers, on the sales uptick when his “books” are mentioned on Glenn Beck’s radio show. Thor and his cohort specialize in a right wing escapist genre that almost certainly makes Dan Brown look like Dostoyevsky, a genre I’ll unoriginally dub “dick lit”.
I’m certain that this pulp is gobbled up by the same crowds, sequestered away in the forgotten, backwards hellholes of “real America”, who eagerly await the release of Sarah Palin’s screed. Which shouldn’t be at all surprising since Thor and Palin both exploit the same qualities in their supporters — ignorance of the world around them, unwillingness to change that ignorance and an eagerness to blame the world’s problems on some vague “other”. All delivered at a comprehension level your average fifth grader would find boring.
